I would prefer to get one or two of these patterns, if possible, thanks.

You cannot always fit any peak which consists out of two
components when the position, shape and intensities of both
components are tied. You can fit if and only if your model is
consistent with those constrained data.
Can you give your minimal FWHM, just to see how much your life
is easy ? With FWHM as low as 0.045 2-theta degrees, you
already observe well the alpha-1 - alpha-2 peaks separately near
of 40 2-theta degrees.
